John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
Statement of Purpose

We are a national foundation with local roots. We choose, as the Knight brothers chose, to focus on journalism and communities, inspiring and enabling them to reach their highest potential.

Because grant making requires a sound financial base, we preserve the Knight brothers’ gifts through prudent investment and careful management.
